Hundreds lined up at Tokyo Pokemon Center today to pre-order the Pikachu Yellow 3DS LL system. Pre-orders for the special color variation kicked off today at Pokemon Centers throughout Japan.
Inside Games visited the Tokyo Pokemon Center at 10:00 and found a line of over 300 people. The line continued to grow, and in the end it took four hours for Pokemon Center staff to process everyone.
The Pikachu Yellow 3DS will be released on September 15, priced ¥18,900. The device is pre-order only, with payment expected up front.

They should just slap a picture of a Pokemon on everything on Japan.

Guaranteed success.

Wow, what a bunch of losers. Amazing how these socially-stunted manchildren can't get over their childish obsession with a children's cartoon character. I'm a little surprised and appalled that Nintendo didn't call the cops on these weirdos since there's a good chance that they're probably pedophiles.

Really? Did it even dawn on you that Pokemon might not be seen as a children's cartoon over there in Japan? Did it ever dawn on you that Pokemon is shown in a prime-time slot on Sunday nights? Just because you dismiss a Pikachu 3DS as childish does not give you the right to insult another culture. Are you really telling me that over 300 people in a line to buy a Pikachu 3DS are pedophiles?

There is a time and a place for fanboy debates, but this crossed the line. You insulted Japan, its culture, and made outrageous statements that have no basis in reality. Did you even take a second to think about how stupid your statement is?

You're 300+ people are pedophiles because they stood in line for a Pikachu 3DS? So let me guess, everyone who stands in line for a COD game is a gun-toting madman who will go shoot up a public place? You're stereotyping a group of people with statements that have no factical basis or make any sense.

Do you know anything about Japan's culture? Cute things tend to sell very well over there, and Pokemon is a very popular franchise. But again, you resorted to the old fanboy argument of "its cute, so its childish".

I have read some stupid statements on System Wars, but what you said took the cake. In the span of your message, you insulted Japan, implied that anyone who buys a Pikachu 3DS is a pedophile, and went out of your way to type the stupidest statements I have even seen on system wars.

If you're plan was to bash Nintendo, then you crossed a massive line. System Wars is a place for debate about systems, but you went too far with this. This stopped being a fanboy issue when you insulted the people who stood in line and called them the worst kind of person.

Odds that someone in that line is a pedophile: 1%. Odds that DerpyMcDerp is a pedophile: 50%. Flip a coin.

I'm sorry, but how exactly is pointing out that the majority of the people in the picture are socially-stunted losers insulting towards Japanese culture? Are you really telling me that you'd be comfortable with your child lining up for a child's toy with those bunch of thirty year old basement dwellers? Nintendo has a duty to defend the children(the 3DS's and especially this Pokemon 3DS's intended audience) in those lines from those creeps. Listen, I understand that weeaboo neckbeards, such as yourself, feel the need to defend anything that has to do with Japan, but Nintendo clearly put those children and their innocence in danger, and should have done more to protect them.

Why doesn't Sony do special editions with the Vita?

Because Sony doesn't really have anyone quite as marketable as mother F'in Pikachu.:lol:

Though I'd buy a Vita if they came out with a special P4 Golden edition Vita.:P

DJ-Lafleur

I gotta admit, I need to get out of the habit of responding. I used to enjoy posting responses back in the day, but the trolls keep getting more and more foolish.

I miss the old days when trolls would make halfway decent arguments in their post. Now, it seems like they post random gibberish that makes no sense.

Good Lord, the essays in this thread about a 3DS with a pokemon on it.

Anyway, that design has way too much Pikachu right up in your grill. I think the old Pokemon GBC was better.
